What was the general gist?

Why did they, us etc sign such a s*** deal instead of going to the G? Or developing Moorabbin.
Seriously I they are so bad on paper, why sign it?

Crystal Ball Time. If everything goes close to plan (keep better players, picks come on, not too many injuries etc) for GC, GWS and the Saints.What year do you see us finishing above both these teams? Maybe an easier question, who will still be alive to see it? Not being negative, think we have some...

Suppose that's another reason why we took Paddy Mac right there.

So any news on his hammy?

God I hope Longer proves me wrong, I know he is young, but besides aggression at the ruck contests, I have seen nothing else from him. Hickey even at Gold Coast showed glimpses, like game against Collingwood at the G where he had 7 contested marks, and his first half v GWS last year with 3 goals pus...

Ok have watched the single camera replay Holmes had the better of Longer Webster is a gun Newnes impressive Fisher sensational Sinclair handy could be a player Armo will be very important Saad good to have him back w forward pressure Typical scrappy crap, not much to take from a tactics point of vie...

Good for our Paddy. Gives him his first year with no one vs. two discussions. Seriously where do you come up with stuff. Who cares if its good for Paddy. C'mon P66, I am sure Paddy McCartin would be thinking, wow thank god no 1 v 2 discussion this year when he first heard about Petracca. All footba...

The big thing I notice is the digging up of old posts to prove a point that people change their mind or opinion. What is wrong with this? People do it all the time in real world, well intelligent people do anyway. I mean the world was once thought to be flat, then with new info you change your mind....

Tells us we rank 18th for players under 25.
Actually they say clear 18th.

Seeing as we have next to nobody 18-31 and a few 31+ as our best, its not surprising we were last in 2014

Just to give some perspective

support the club! i pay decent money each year and go to two games ffs people overseas pay big coin and go to none! if you can afford the few bucks get the membership 8-) This! I am lucky to get to 5 games a year due to location and family commitments, but buy Social Club membership and the 2 littl...

I wonder what the main issue was?

Petracca?
Wanting to Trade Armo out?

What was the tipping point?

I would have done that deal.
Imagine say Jake Lever at Full Back, Hugh Goddard CHB and McCartin FF.
Sure midfield would get savaged, but Armo aint Gary Ablett.
Anyway, just another swings and roundabouts moment number 5,482 in following AFL club.
Go Saints

And to think he paid his own way to train at altitude earlier this year???

Did he not beat McCartin?

Wowee

Where did link go?

Reminds me of Alistair Smith. Hope he makes it, but nothing excites me greatly.

I am pretty depressed, think it has something to do with Petracca V McCartin, we can have only one and we have a horrible list. We have pick 1 pick in first 20, whis melb have 2, gws 3, collingwood 2, GC 2, all of whom have better lists already. How will we catch up?? We have nearly no one left to s...

I was just thinking , and i havent read this entire tread so not sure if its been covered already but what full forwards in the comp now would you consider worthy of being picked at number 1. Because thats who Mc cartin has to be as good as if we pick him for it to be worth it. eg is roughhead a pi...

If this is the "strategy" we are f***ed.

No chance.

i am in Petracca camp only because you can see the way footy is played these days. It's a mids game and you have to play many positions. Total Football!

Where does McCartin play? FF. that is all.
he is not beat available

Gonna be sickened to watch Petracca play for demons

They were talking about picks later on. Well if it wasn't a joke we will take Petracca as Elshaugh would be contradicting himself re "what about the championships?" Petracca won the Larke Medal. If that is how it works in reality, I have no faith. As for trout stating in afl article that i...

He is yet to run under 3 secs. 2.58 would be an afl record by .2 of second. McCartin is actually very quick off the mark. He runs a sub 3sec 20m. He didnt participate at the combine where do you get that from? All his supposed highlights he doesnt look quick at all, just reads the play better... AIS...

If you read the article on afl.com it appears more likely McCartin

Jaxons? Or was he Pelchin and therefore doesn't know anything anymore?
